Recently, Dave Noyze shared a lengthy interview with Aphex Twin's Richard D. James. He discussed music, gear, things he made as a kid, ice sculpture, and more; he also shared some new music. Now, part two of that interview has emerged, along with a boat-load of previously-unreleased tracks: over 30 recordings, including 20 sonic experiments made on Buchla and Serge modular synths (James refers to them as "a fucking racket"), outtakes from his orchestral performances in London and Poland, and more.

In the full interview (which can be read at Noyzelab), James explains his technical setup in depth, complete with photos. Below, stream and download James' 20-track exploration of the modular synth, and to download the rest, head over to his Soundcloud page.

Last week, Aphex Twin announced Syro, his first new album in 13 years. Now, he's revealed a little more about the record. Talking to The Fader, he said that the oldest track was recorded six or seven years ago. "I’d stockpiled up so much stuff and you can kind of have to draw a line under it somewhere," he said. "By banging something out it, it’s like the end of the chapter. It properly draws a line under it and allows you to move on."

If you know any tourists that plan to visit New York City on June 18, there's a good chance they'll take in a Twin Shadow concert without even knowing it. That day at 8 p.m., the video for Twin Shadow's "Five Seconds", the first single from his forthcoming LP Confess, will premiere on a Jumbotron LED screens in Manhattan's Times Square, and will be immediately followed by a live performance in the tourist mecca. UPDATE: Twin Shadow is no longer allowed to perform in Times Square.
